  1. I think this guy is doing more for global renewable energy than he could have ever possibly have imagined. Just not in the way he hoped..

  2. I can’t think of a better argument for getting away from oil dependency than this guy.

  3. >”Iran has been, essentially, decimated.

    So why’s the Strait closed?

    >”You’ll have to start learning how to fight for yourself, the U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore, just like you weren’t there for us.

    ‘Why won’t NATO, a defensive alliance, help me prosecute this war in which I am the belligerent???’ – the audacity of this draft dodging twat.

    >All of those countries that can’t get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz […] I have a suggestion for you: Number 1, buy from the U.S

    Ah yes, because fuel’s the only valuable commodity being transported through the Strait.

    Those Epstein Files must be something else.

    Didn’t this idiot dodge the draft five times?

    Not sure if he’s the best person to be calling people cowards tbh.

    I hate this man. Makes a mess and expects us to clean it up, how on brand for America. 

    He’s pathetic and so is their country for supporting him 

  6. Hey Trump so we already tried going to different countries and taking resources, not to spoil history for you but it ended up making people pretty mad

    Dear DJT,

    As a first world country, our reliance on fossil fuels has been steadily falling for years. Please reach out again once the US has become a developed nation.

    Yours sincerely,

    The UK, and many other first world countries

    Trump is a joke of a president. No world leader should act like him. Uk let US use their bases

  9. We had our own oil coming out of the Gulf before America attacked Iran. If we’re going to go after anyone, surely it should be the people that caused the problem?

    Cancel the king’s visit to the US immediately. This is ridiculous. Why are we pandering to this wet fart?

    80 years of American rules based global diplomacy and order and this twerp undoes it in a year and tells everyone to go back to the 1800s policy of plunder.

    he’s getting his ass kicked. The only people who can solve this are in America

    Genuine question: for such an insignificant backwater island, why do the ‘villains’ of the world all seem totally obsessed with us? Trump, Musk, Putin, the Iranian regime themselves… what is it about us in particular that rubs them up the wrong way? It’s like in their heads the British Empire still exists and they don’t understand why we’re not ‘doing anything’ if that makes sense.

    Dear Starmer,

    Actually grow some fucking balls and tell trump to fuck off. You keep enabling this bully, and whilst you do, he’ll just come back for more.

    The fact he insults our dead troops, our military and our country and you’re still inclined to send the king over in April is, as former PM would say, “That is a Disgrace.”

    Kind Regards,

    Alex (30), Birmingham.

  15. Seeing Charles on the news prostrating himself in front of Trump will kill off any remaining loyalty Brits have to the monarchy. I say bring it on. Fuck these parasites.

  16. I’ve crashed your car and shat all over the seats. The hard part is done, now go fix and clean it yourself.

    Close the US airbases in britain. See how that effects their gloabal reach, that will be very sobering for them

  18. A_hungry_triceratops on

    At this point we should just be dumping the US treasury bonds.

    If that’s all he seems to care about, fuck his money over.
